drank Golden Snail by Savoy Tea Co
3010 tasting notes

Sometimes I forget that there is no reason to hoard the good tea, any more than there is no reason not to wear Aunt Vera’s antique cameo to the office on a weekday. So today I broke out both.

Scooping up the pixie-like curled leaves from the tin is almost my favorite part of experiencing this tea. They’re beautiful. You just want to run your fingers through them. Savoy’s description mentions both cocoa and caramel, and to be honest, neither of those come to mind when I drink this. My previous reviews all borrow from the bread spectrum—crusty, wheaty, toasty. I’ll stand by all three adjectives.

Oh yes, gather ye rosebuds while ye may! Use the good silverware, wear the cameo. Love that.
